Privacy
Learning data stays on the device.
Sticky Bears does not require an account. A child can practice without sending a profile name, answers, or progress to us.
What is stored in the browser
| Data | Why it is used | Where it stays |
|---|---|---|
| Profile name | Lets more than one child use the same device. | This browser |
| Practice settings | Remembers selected tables, pace, sound, and display choices. | This browser |
| Fact history | Chooses useful review facts and builds the report card. | This browser |
| Dated sessions | Shows recent practice without an online account. | This browser |
| Neighborhood items | Restores earned houses and decorations. | This browser |
What is not collected
- No email address, phone number, home address, school name, or class roster is requested.
- No student name is placed in an assignment link.
- No answer history or progress report is uploaded by the game.
- No advertising network or tracking cookie is used.
- No camera, microphone, contacts, or location permission is requested.
- No payment information is collected because the game is free.
Assignment links
A teacher link can include table numbers, pace, and a finish line. It does not include a profile name or identifier. After the link opens, the student chooses a profile stored in that browser.
Export, import, and deletion
A grown up can use the parent data controls to download a backup, restore a valid backup, rename a profile, reset one profile, or delete it. Clearing site data in the browser also removes Sticky Bears profiles from that browser.
A downloaded backup contains the local profiles and progress. Treat it like a school record: keep it private and share it only when you intend to move the data to another browser.
Site activity counts
The site records a small set of first party aggregate events: page view, game start, 2D fallback start, completed round, assignment link creation, and report opening. The analytics dataset stores only the event label and page path. Query parameters are removed, so selected tables and assignment settings are not stored.
Profile names, answers, fact history, scores, neighborhood data, IP addresses, and browser identifiers are not written to the analytics dataset. No analytics cookie or persistent visitor identifier is created. The browser sender does nothing when Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track is enabled.
Children and supervision
The game is designed so a child does not need to create an online account or submit contact information. A parent, guardian, or teacher should choose how the game is used and should handle backups or profile deletion.
